ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 onions, cut in half and sliced 1/2-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground thyme
- 6 large baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish (to taste)
- salt, to taste
- cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 3⁄4 cup half-and-half
directions
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the onions have softened, and achieved a deep brown color, 15 to 25 minutes. Stir in vinegar and thyme, and cook for 5 minutes more.
- While the onions are cooking, place cubed potatoes in large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander, and allow to steam for a minute.
- In a small saucepan, heat half-and-half and butter over low heat until butter melts and surface emits wisps of steam.
- To finish the dish, transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl, and use a potato masher to mix with Dijon mustard, horseradish, salt and cracked black pepper, until smooth. Stir in caramelized onions and heated dairy mixture until onions are distributed evenly.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
